Okay...so about half of this story was slow and a bit boring. The last few chapters were exciting though and the end...oh, that ending. On one hand, I hated it because of two of the deaths that occur. On the other hand, I loved it because the last couple of pages were exactly what I wanted.

There was many times while reading this book as well as Catching Fire when I would literally say aloud, "That was a missed opportunity." And by that I mean there was a lot of events and moments that could've been expanded upon but were merely glossed over.

I was underwhelmed by Katniss in this book. She no longer felt like "the girl on fire."
